COMPOUND FOR FINISHING WOODEN AND OTHER SURFACES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 28, 1905.

Application filed June 6, 1905. Serial No. 263,929.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FERDINAND HIJNERBEIN, a citizen of Germany, and a resident of Baltimore, State of Maryland, have invented a new and Improved Compound for Finishing Wooden and other Surfaces, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a compound for imparting a soft silk or satin like gloss to the surface, of wooden, metal, and other bodies. The compound is well adapted for finishing the surface of furniture, walls, panels, doors, and of safes and other articles.

In carrying out my invention I prepare a first mixture or varnishing compound composed of the following ingredients: fifty parts gum-copal, ten parts benzol, five parts gumpara, (caoutchouc,) two parts celluloid solution. This mixture forms a base, of which one part is mixed with twenty parts of varnish.

I also prepare a second mixture or abrading compound composed of the following ingredients: twenty parts pumice-stone, five parts chalk, one part talcum, one tenth part of eosin or other coloring-matter.

After the wooden or other surface has been covered by the varnish containing the first solution it is allowed to dry thoroughly. The dried surface is then polished by the second mixture until it will assume a beautiful dull silk-like luster.

What I claim is A compound for finishing a wooden or other surface intended to be used mixed with varnish and composed of gum-copal, benzol, gumpara and celluloid, substantially as specified.

Signed by meat New York city, Manhattan, New York, this 5th day of June, 1905.

- FERDINAND HIINERBEIN.
